I got a spoon I use & put a spoon full in, probably between a teaspoon & a tablespoon. I never measure my water so don't know how much I use, I use just enought to fill tube to top of bottle top. Maybe 12 ounce I'd guess. I'm sure somebody more experianced in here has a more precise measurement system? LEON.
P.S. Forgot to say my measurement are for a 5 inch tube, I only use a 5 inch tube because thats all I have & good for quart size beers I usually clean. I need a 4 inch for smaller bottles. 5 works but not as good. LEON.
